Daphne, I'm reading it a bit differently than you. It states that it's only funded for 6 months, but MAY BE EXTENDED if additional funding is found. My guess as to the likelihood of that additional funding being found? Right around 100%.

Plus, I guess I don't know what temps get paid, but $40k - $62k annually doesn't sound horrible. Right in the range of Portland median income, depending on whose figures you believe.

Before you all get excited about applying, read the fine print: you have to already be a city employee to apply. That often --but doesn't necessarily- mean there's someone already in line for the position.
